Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 13 October 2011 in the House of Lords, by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative).
International Year for People of African Descent
- Answer
-
My Lords, the noble Lord is absolutely right about the contribution and the value. He urges celebration, which should be in all our words, aims and activities, but whether a specific day is necessary as well I am not so sure. However, I make absolutely clear that we recognise everything that he said as being extremely valid.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 13 October 2011 by Lord Crisp (Crossbench).
- Question
- My Lords, as your Lordships will know, the NHS benefitted enormously from a great number of people of African heritage, particularly in the early days. Would it not be a good idea to use this occasion to celebrate this in some way and partly thereby contribute to improving the morale in the NHS?
